Netflix’s Adolescence: What it says about Criminal Injuries

Understanding Criminal Injury Claims

Victims of violent crime often experience severe physical and psychological trauma. At GLP Solicitors, we specialise in helping individuals navigate the criminal injury claims process, ensuring they receive the compensation they deserve. With legal expertise and compassionate support, we make justice accessible to those affected.

How the Netflix Series Adolescence highlights the reality of Criminal Injuries

The Netflix series Adolescence sheds light on the lasting impact of violent crimes, particularly on young individuals navigating trauma and their families. Whilst the series has a focus on the story of the perpetrator, it serves as a stark reminder that real-life victims need support too.  Many victims need legal assistance to secure rightful compensation, something GLP Solicitors provides with expert support.

What are Criminal Injury Claims?

A criminal injury claim allows victims of violent crimes to seek financial compensation for physical and emotional harm. In the UK, the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) provides compensation to eligible claimants.

Eligibility for Criminal Injury Claims

To qualify for compensation, victims must meet the following criteria:

  • The crime must be reported to the police promptly.
  • The application must be submitted within two years of the incident.
  • The victim must have sustained physical or psychological injuries.
  • The victim must be a resident of the UK or meet residency requirements.

If you meet these criteria, GLP Solicitors can guide you through the application process to maximise your compensation.
